Your Maid - Maid!Ouma Oumasai Fanfiction

Chapter 10: A Small Crack In The Illusion

It was another day and Shuichi was out again. Meanwhile, Kokichi was moping the floor and Kaede sat on the couch, the two ignoring each other. Kokichi was busy doing something else anyway. 

He was engulfed in his thoughts about the events of yesterday when he witnessed Kaede cheat on Shuichi. He made up his mind about the fact he needed to tell Shuichi about what happened but was trying to find the best way to tell him.

Because Shuichi was in denial about his relationship it might be hard to get through to him, especially since he was just his housemaid which gave Kaede, his girlfriend of a few years, bigger credibility. He needed to wait for some opportunity to catch her in the act in order to break through to him. 

He was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of the door opening. Shuichi was back. He stopped moping and started walking towards Shuichi. "Good morning Saih-!" he didn't get to finish when he tripped due to Kaede placing her foot in front of him. Additionally, as if his luck couldn't get any better, he had also spilled the water bucket where he dipped the mop.

"Good morning sweetheart~!" Kaede said calming over only for Shuichi to stare at.

"Kaede why did you do that?! Ouma-kun are you okay?!" Shuichi said passing her and helping Ouma up. Ouma stood up only to realize, there was a big red bump on his head if you disregard the floor water that covered some of his hair, face, and the top part of his uniform

"What do you mean darling?" Kaede asked. Shuichi looked at her irritated.

"You tripped Ouma-kun, he could've gotten really hurt!" he said helping the boy up. Kaede laughed.

"Pfft, whatever. I have to go anyway. See ya love." she said walking out the room before he could utter another word. Shuichi sighed looking back at Ouma.

"Are you really ok Ouma?" he asked concerned. Ouma grinned

"Nishshi I'm alright, I was meant to wash my hair today anyway" He said playing with wet hair. Shuichi didn't look very convinced, He brushed away the long strand of hair away from Kokichi's forehead, looking at the small bump that was forming from the fall.

"What about the bump? It looks really red..." he asked, touching it, making Ouma wince slightly in pain. He smiled anyway

"It's okay really" Kokichi said. Shuichi shook his head.

No, it isn't. Come on let me at least put a bandaid on it. I'll talk to Kaede about this later" he said taking his hand leading him to the bathroom before Kokichi could respond.

Once the two were in the bathroom, Shuichi began looking for the bandaids in the cabinet behind the mirror while Kokichi sat down on the edge of the bathtub. Once Shuichi found them he realized something. 

"Oh right, you fell in water." Shuichi said grabbing a towel, lightly brushing the water off his face and hair, his second hand on Kokichi's cheek. The light touches made Kokichi blush and hold onto the edge of his maid skirt. Seriously how is he supposed to calm down when the guy he has a crush on is gently touching his face like this?

Once Shuichi was done he applied the bandaid to his forehead. Ouma smiled, still blushing and holding onto his skirt.

"Thank you Saihara-chan..." he spoke softly. Kokichi noticed Shuichi seemed to linger a bit holding onto his cheek before he caught himself doing it and pulled away, a small pink tint on his cheeks. 

Kokichi stood up, even though his hair and face were dry, his shirt and top part of his maid apron were still wet.

"Upupu... my uniform is drenched. Looks like I'll have to work shirtless!" he giggled. Shuichi blushed and was about to say anything but Kokichi interrupted him "But that's a lie~! It's against company policy. I'll just have to work like this" he said.

"But what if you get a cold? I can just give you one of my white shirts for the time being right? Yours can dry until the end of the day then" he said. Ouma nodded, while Shuichi walked out to grab something from his closet. After a few minutes, Saihara returned with a white shirt.

"It might be a bit too big..." he said turning away as Ouma put it on. It was true, his shirt was a bit too big but not too much.

"Cute...." Shuichi said making Kokichi and himself blush "Uhhh...I have cases to work on now bye!" he said quickly walking out. Kokichi giggled slightly. He put his wet outfit on the radiator in the bathroom and then, seeing he was alone, sniffed the shirt.

"Smells of blueberries...like him...Wait that's creepy."  Kokichi said before returning to his work

(I'm back)
